Genes affected

LDLR (HGNC:6547): (low density lipoprotein receptor) The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. The encoded protein is normally bound at the cell membrane, where it binds low density lipoprotein/cholesterol and is taken into the cell. Lysosomes release the cholesterol, which is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal dominant disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Walther, Weindel und Kollegen	Oct 15, 2018	The mutation occurs at protein level at position 148 (position 127 of the mature protein) to change the amino acid cysteine to tyrosine. This change has been reported in the literature, found in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and is associated with elevated cholesterol and LDL-C levels. It leads to a disturbed LDLR transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface or is partially retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We observed this mutation in a patient with TC up to 380 mg/dl and LDL-C approx 310 mg/dl at the age of 10 years. PMID: 16250003, 1301956, 11462246 -

The c.443G>A (p.C148Y) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the LDLR gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 443, causing the cysteine (C) at amino acid position 148 to be replaced by a tyrosine (Y). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant (also referred to as C127Y) has been detected in several unrelated individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and FH cohorts (Nauck, 2001; Fouchier, 2005; Humphries, 2006; Taylor, 2007; Moradi, 2021). Other variants affecting this codon, including c.443G>C (p.C148S), have also been reported in association with FH (Slimane, 2002). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Villéger, 2002). Internal structural analysis indicates this variant eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of LDLR class A repeat 4 (Ambry internal data). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an LDLRA or epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)-like domains of the LDLR protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 7548065, 7603991, 7979249). In addition, missense substitutions within the LDLRA and EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are overrepresented among patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18325082). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251225). This variant is also known as C127Y. This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11462246, 16389549, 17539906, 33732287). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 148 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys148Tyr). -
